TAKE HER IF YOU WANT AN EASY A IN PYTHON. super easy class, but you really don't learn anything. she has powerpoint slides that tell you the generic basics of python. she has some assignments that are all bs pretty much but you can always self learn from the textbook if you want to learn it.

Comment:

Online class in which she NEVER responds to email. Takes forever to grade assignments, unclear directions, copy-paste coding assignments from java except this time it's c#. Honestly, I don't think she's even looked at the canvas page for this class more than twice this semester. It's like pulling teeth trying to get any help or meaningful feedback.

Comment:

I am thankful that I signed up for this class. This LBST was essentially a basic Python coding course. It was made for people that have no experience whatsoever. I had no Python experience and each assignment was maybe 20 min of work every 3 weeks with super easy tests. It did seem as if Dr. Scott forgot about us in the middle of the semester.

This lady teaches an online class and can't use a computer. Easiest A you will ever receive. Month long breaks between work and tests are from quizler

Comment:

If you are looking to understand and actually learn SQL, do not take this teacher. This teacher does not teach at all. Although I took her online, the contents she posts are from different schools. If you are just looking to pass 3160 with an A without learning about SQL, then take it with Scott.

Comment:

This is one of the most basic classes I've ever taken. If you show up for class and complete the assignment, you'll breeze through. The pre-test assignment you're given is essentially the test, the test is just written slightly different. Major negative: you have to pay for Mindtap that is never used.

Don't take. assignment instructions are always unclear to follow and the mindtap website you're required to pay $100 for is super faulty and never grades assignments properly.

Comment:

This class is super, super basic, especially if you've already taken a programming class. The professor lectures for the first fifteen minutes or so, which you don't have to pay attention to, and then you can leave once you finish the assignment, which usually only takes 10-15 minutes.

Comment:

The entire class is posted at the start of the semester, so you can get as much done at once as you want. Grading criteria is very clear, no textbook needed. This is my second online class with Scott and they both have been easy to navigate and great grade boosters. A TA grades all the work. You need the textbook to answer discussion questions.

Comment:

This class is a joke, you won't learn anything in the lectures and only learn what little you can from the labs. She does not know how to teach, even though she might be in the profession. She just goes over powerpoints and gives assignments for attendance. If you don't have previous coding experience, you'll have to work for it.

Comment:

Prof. Scott does not seem she has had much experience in real world coding. When ever I email her about a question about grades she always directs me towards a TA as if she is not in control of the grades. I feel like I am learning nothing during her classes. Ive had to learn certain methods and techniques through other my peers or through labs.

Comment:

100 on every assignment except one, which I planned on not doing since based on the grading scale, I would still get an A in the course even if I got a 0. However she decided to change the grading scale the night before grades were due, at which point I received a B. And then didn't respond to my emails until a day after the grades were in.

Comment:

The instructor of this class stumbles over her own code constantly. She uses C++ programs as examples for a Java class which is very confusing, and the worse part is she struggles to turn the computer on some days. If it wasn't for prior programming experience this would have been a nightmare for me.

Comment:

She tries, but she's just not a good professor. I learned everything from the textbook and my TA in lab. The material isn't difficult if you're goo at learning on your own, but if not I'd take this course with Bruce Long instead.

Easy enough if you pay attention. She goes very slow (too slow) making us get behind a lot. notes are put online and she tells you before if there will be a clicker quiz.

Super easy online class. I would definitely take this class again since it is basic computer operations that we do on a daily basis. You have two assignments to do each week and they are not tough to do at all. She also gives a late period to turn in your work with no penalty. The downside to this class is that she hardly ever answers e-mails.

Professor Scott is great! This is an online class, but I really feel that she is helpful when asked. I am doing awesome in her ITCS 1101 class. A few days ago I ran into technical problems and she was very considerate and gave me a second chance! Not many professors would do the same. I am thankful that I have Sara Scott and my professor.

Comment:

Not sure how she learned Java due to the fact that she can't perform basic computer operations. Doesn't go over lessons, instead pokes around on the IDE entire time thinking we can follow what she's doing(half the time her code has obvious errors). Only gave one attendance quiz the entire semester, so you have no bonus points to help you out later.
